Last night I updated the website. Some things have been moved around to make everything a bit more navigable, others have been left alone, and there are a few more additions. Check it out and see what you think.

In other news, Jonathan has officially learned the word ‘no’. What he has yet to learn is when he should say it. It’s okay to say ‘no’ when he doesn’t want food or a toy. It’s a whole other deal when I tell him not to touch something and he says ‘no’. Grrr. . . but he’s learning. ‘Please’ has officially re-entered the vocabulary as well, the only trick is to get him to use it all of the time. Getting him to say ‘please’ and rewarding him by letting him touch or play with everything is one way to encourage him to keep saying ‘please’, but it also teaches him he can get everything he wants by saying ‘please’. If you stop doing that, then ‘please’ becomes sort of worthless – he might as well grunt because it will do him just as much good. The experiment continues.
